F_SI 5CC strong. I was looking for a "correct" way out all night but I had the most success with blind 623A_214C.Necrosis started leading with no_dash 5B, forcing me to choose between 623B and blocking.Guard Cancel Bunker during 5C blockstun is possible (2 frame window to beat 5CC) but not advisable. RESULT: xx6B is ridiculously effective during the second string.Full writeup incoming.

Pick the moon that gives you at least two advantageous angles in the air.CH_Sion_JA loses to F_VSion_JA from every angle that counts so you need to play F.F_Sion 5th frame JA is extremely helpful against HF_Ryougi air normals.ヨミ plays F against C_Mech. ユウ plays F against F_Aoko.ユウ plays H against C_Hisui because J2C is no help and 5a matches up better with Hisui's 2a.

Until recently I felt Sion without cutting sync is sacrilege.I was wrong. Tempered is right.You need to fight 5th frame JA with 5th frame JA.

I want to change moon styles when I win a match. The following is my first draft of a persuasive email to MrWizard. I am also considering posting in this thread on SRK: http://shoryuken.com/threads/241256

START{

Please change Melty Blood rules to mirror SSFIV rules.

CURRENT:"Rules: If the players do not agree on a stage within 15 seconds, the match will be random stage select.Archtype: Earth is banned.Winner must keep same character and moon phase."

PROPOSED:"Rules: If the players do not agree on a stage within 15 seconds, the match will be random stage select.Archtype: Earth is banned.Winner must keep the same character, but can select a new moon phase in game 2 or 3, but has to pick the moon phase before the opponent picks theirs. This does not apply to blind pick."

In the arcade release Melty Blood Actress Again Version.A, when a challenger inserts a credit he may select any character and moon phase. The current player may not change his character, but he may change the moon phase.

In most USA and Japanese tournaments, the winner is allowed to change moon phases.

Please allow the game to be played as closely to the established standard as possible by adjusting this rule. Thank you for your consideration.

Please suggest changes. I do not know what language is most effective on MrWizard.

lol D-pad and keyboard is what i learned to play all fighting games with, i wasnt' any big arcade man, which does *look* cooler to use than a d-pad, but still not as mad as beating another person using a keyboard, thats just embarrassing for the guy using a stick or d-pad [/quote]
